Moltex Energy Canada has been granted a patent for its used nuclear fuel recycling process in Canada. The patent covers Moltex’s process for converting any uranium oxide fuel into molten salt reactor fuel, known as WAste To Stable Salt (WATSS). Using this process, used fuel is converted into several parts. Transuranics – the long-lived, man-made elements – along with some uranium and fission products are extracted into a salt.
